BREAST CANCER
After the operation
I sat face to face with the doctor.
A large lump of flesh
In front of me.
I have to tell her the truth
Says the doctor,
I need her collaboration
In order to save her.
Such a large lump of flesh
The whole looks salmon pink.
A black ball, and
Two white crescents.
They are her skins, about seven centimeters long.
I think about her- my sister,
Have been wandering
Between life and death.
